Industrial success story

Advanced Cybersecurity for Intercontinental Manufacturer WinGD

Exeon provided WinGD with full network visibility and AI-driven anomaly detection—seamlessly integrating IT/OT monitoring without additional hardware. Here’s how proactive threat management turned into a collaborative partnership.

Initial situation

WinGD’s business context

Global leader with highly secured digital and physical assets

With its presence in every continent of the world, as well as production sites throughout Europe and Asia, WinGD has been proactive in safeguarding their infrastructure with robust cybersecurity measures.
Challenges

Global business, global production, global risk

Today’s cyber risks in manufacturing encompass international and EU compliance requirements according to NIS2 and the upcoming Machinery Regulation (2027), incidents leading to production downtime, data or knowledge leakage, reputational damage and more.

Integration of OT & Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)

can significantly increase a manufacturer's vulnerability to cyber threats.

Evolving cyber threat exposure and sophistication

via networked machines and production systems that regularly communicate with external networks.

Complete coverage of critical systems

to monitor all assets across network segments: internal IT networks, industrial control systems (ICS), production, and third-party connections.

Customer journey

How Exeon.NDR delivered value

Proof of concept

Through the proof-of-concept phase, Exeon took a full inventory of the devices and communication in WinGD’s large network to search for any blind spots and potential security gaps.

AI in action

Running Exeon.NDR on the customer’s network, the Exeon team demonstrated how the supervised and unsupervised AI algorithms efficiently work, processing and learning WinGD’s communication patterns to detect anomalies and identify threats precisely with lightweight network log data.

IT/OT visibility

Following the multi-faceted protection of WinGD’s core systems without additional hardware nor sensors, complete visibility into the intersecting IT/OT infrastructure was established.

Proactive monitoring

WinGD’s IT and security team monitor worldwide communication via one centralized dashboard, proactively detect anomalies, and benefit from ongoing support of Exeon’s local, dedicated Cyber Security Engineer.

Set for success

WinGD offers itself as an early adopter so that the Exeon engineering team can install new releases “fresh out the oven”. The collaboration with the customer’s technicians has always been very pleasant and constructive, as they provide helpful feedback on the product advancements, which are then turned into real-life optimizations.

Testimonial

Over the years, WinGD’s security team has utilized Exeon.NDR to its full potential and recommends it to other manufacturing companies with distributed, international networks.

“Exeon provides us with complete visibility of our network data flows and automatically detects suspicious behavior. Thanks to their AI algorithms, we immediately identify potential cyber threats and can respond quickly and efficiently. This way, we prevent attackers from moving undetected in our systems, infiltrating the infrastructure, or bypassing existing security measures.”
